The basic idea
is to take a piece of plastic wrap (Saran or otherwise) and form it
into a "pocket", i.e. bring the four corners together.
The pocket is then filled with water.
The corners are then grouped together and twisted until the whole
assembly resembles a sphere. This creates a makeshift lens.
It was pretty easy to start a fire using cedar bark tinder.
Using tinder fungus would of course made things even easier.
This first picture shows the basic setup. Notice the upside-down
foot in the "lens."

From Allan "Bow" Beauchamp...
I just finished some trials of fire from water. It works well! I used a small
2" diameter piece, and it gave me fire in about 29 seconds! An easy day starter.
